Saints 2 Liverpool 0

wat an awful wk. 3 losses in a row and i dont noe wat to say. watching the match last nite was worse than watching a horror show. we sux totally. the defense was in a shamble. midfield non existence. as for strikeforce... they din really get any services at all. and i cant believe that was my beloved team playing... against a team battling relegation, a team that had only won twice this season.

the defence was woeful. hyppia and pelligrino in the centre -- the slowest pair of CB u can find on earth. Carragher played as a RB... covering for the injured finnan and josemi. Warnock played as a LB. I'm v surprise Rafa decides to break the partnership between carra and hyppia. I suppose he did that becos he cant find anyone to play RB but the partnership bet. pelle and hyppia didnt work at all! In fact, it turned out horrendously wrong. Pelle has poor positioning, was slow to react and half of the time i guess he din noe wat was going on behind. Warnock too was poor last nite. Y did Rafa even play him as a LB?! that man is a midfielder ffs. Y not let Traore play instead?

As for the midfield, riise was quiet. Gerrard was quiet as well... probably due to his injury. Hamann kept passing the ball to the opponent. There was a lack in creativity and we kept pumping long balls up front. and most of the time the long balls ended up with a southampton player. luis garcia? dun mention him. imho, he was the lousiest player on the field yesterday. couldnt trap the ball, cant control the ball, kept losing the ball and his back-flicks always ended up (yes a 100%) in the feet of an opponent. and we didnt fully utilise the flanks... lets just put it this way... we do not have any decent wingers that can actually dribble the ball along the flanks (shall we get diouf back?).

Baros again was the only player that played well last nite. Morientes was v quiet... still adapting to the english game i guess. I noe we going thru a rough patch rite noe esp with so many players injured. but i really felt terrible after the game. losing to southampton is disgusting (no offense). playing that kind of soccer is even more disgusting!!! getting the 4th CL spot is looking more and more impossible. sigh...
